Footnotes

“Within 3 to 4 months we will know, after the trial against him [Golan]…[the police] will expose him in 3–4 months.”

Before his lecture was published, Dahari changed this text. He omitted any time reference in the first quote, simply stating: “Solid evidence … will come out in the trial.” Dahari also deleted the specific time reference in the second part of the quote, which now reads: “within a few months we will know, after the trial against Mr. Golan.”
